NEW YORK - Chrysler is planning to produce Fiat's 500 subcompact at a Chrysler plant in Mexico, according to The Wall Street Journal which cited people familiar with the matter, and reported by Reuters.

Chrysler is also considering what other Fiat models to introduce to the U.S. market, under directions from its Italian partner, the paper reported on its website on Sunday.

Plans also include making a small Fiat engine for the 500 at a Chrysler plant in Trenton, Michigan, and building a Fiat-derived compact car slightly larger than the 500 in the United States, a source told the paper.
